Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP)

S&OP Navigator

Prepare Your Team to Pivot as things Happen

The purpose of sales and operations planning (S&OP) is to anticipate important questions today to prevent them from causing urgent issues 12 months from now. A successful S&OP process incorporates demand planning and forecasting, supply planning, and new product introductions, enabling management to make integrated decisions that are beneficial for the business.

Every company has different business drivers and different requirements for S&OP and plans can't be rigid, but adaptable and dynamic. This makes S&OP implementation a difficult process, especially when it comes to finding the right tools. Best of breed packages often have limited flexibility, poor connectivity and lack powerful optimization capabilities.

S&OP Navigator, part of the SC Navigator suite of Apps, is a Sales & Operations Planning Application that is quick to configure and intuitive to use.
